Praise God! Royal Servants Training Camp is going to be held in Wisconsin this year! For the first time ever, students will train at the new WI site owned by our ministry. What a huge blessing!

In order to make this possible, this spring Matt has worked many days and countless hours in Wisconsin. Setting up the new site for 300 students to start in June is no small feat! Our work project teams were a success and many volunteers came alongside to serve with us in April. Yet, with all that was accomplished, there is more work to do and we still need to pass State inspections. Please pray!

Due to the amount of travel to the WI training camp these past months, Matt will not be traveling internationally this summer. Instead, Matt’s crucial role for Royal Servants in this season has been in preparing the new training camp site. This benefits all the teams this year, and for years to come. Not leading an international team this year allows Matt to continue staying focused on the development of the new Training Camp and to lead the camp Barnabas Team.

In the end, we believe this was God’s plan all along. For several reasons, the Ethiopia team has had to be postponed. Matt is excited to once again lead the Barnabas Team this summer, and to serve all the international teams as they train to bring the Gospel around the world!

·Pray for the remaining work to come together to complete our new Training Camp.

·Pray for wisdom for Matt as he coordinates work projects at camp and for his leadership of the Barnabas Team (This team is made up of Alumni students who come to serve all of the needs of training camp).

·Pray for God to continue to move in the hearts of students as they prepare for their Royal Servants mission trip!
